Call for Chapter Proposals for the Edited Book
The Role of Linguistic Profiling within Career Development: Cultural
and Technological Implications

This edited book seeks to clarify and explain linguistic profiling in
the context of career development. Chapters will cover
multidisciplinary perspectives to examine, develop, and implement
linguistic profiling initiatives to show employees that they are
valued. The editors are Claretha Hughes, Yuanlu Niu, Karen Davis, and
Karolina Hansen.

Career development research on how the systemic barrier of linguistic
profiling enables or hinders the role of the organization or
individual career development is much needed (Hughes and
Mamiseishvili, 2018). Baugh (2000, p. 363) defines linguistic
profiling as “identify[ing] an individual … as belonging to a
linguistic subgroup within a given speech community, including a
racial subgroup.”

Multidisciplinary perspectives can be advanced in the field by
examining, developing, and implementing linguistic profiling
initiatives without the stigmas associated with diversity. Showing
employees that they are valued through efforts to diminish linguistic
profiling of employees is needed.

Chapter submissions will seek to address the following questions, but
are not limited to:
What is the influence of linguistic profiling on culture, global
economics, and technology innovation within career development?
How do people modify their accents to achieve career success?
How do workplace accents affect career development?
How can accents harm/benefit?
How can the dialect harm/benefit?
How can linguistics help, harm, or benefit career progress?
What is the influence of linguistic profiling on employability?
How does linguistic profiling influence adaptation to and thriving
within the work environment?
How and why do people change their accents for career progression?
What are the economic implications of career-related outcomes after
being linguistically profiled?
How can linguistic profiling be a benefit to career development
processes and outcomes?
How can linguistic profiling be harmful to career development
processes and outcomes?
How do people develop their careers while being linguistically
profiled?
How is linguistic profiling examined from a micro or macro
perspective?
In what way(s) does linguistic profiling occur during times when
inequities increase?
How do we understand the growth and development of linguistically
profiled individuals?
To what extent do individuals who are linguistically profiled hide or
seek personal fixes of their differences?
To what extent are individuals who are linguistically profiled
isolated within the workplace?
How do individuals hide perceived linguistic profiling differences?
How can linguistic profiling be used as a career-diminishing weapon?
How can linguistic profiling serve as a factor to change and modify
people’s behavior?
How can linguistic profiling influence code-switching?
How can linguistic profiling influence self-presentation?
How are accents perceived by employers/peers?
